I have only seen muvit tempered glass for Z2 on mobilefun.
Anyone have any experience with that brand on any other phone. I use the Nilkin tempered glass on my Z1 and I am really happy with that so hoping Nilkin will release for Z2 as well.

Are you keeping your Z Ultra once the Z2 is released? I'm debating if I should keep it or not.
I've always used Zagg HD version and never had issues. Does anyone know if any of the listed screen protectors as well as the tempered glass are waterproof? This device is water resistant so say i spend some time with under water pictures. Will i have to worry that my screen protector will fall off?
What's the benefit of putting a tempered glass screen protector on top of a glass phone? Glass on glass?

I would bet they are water resistant, at least to a strong degree. The benefit is the same when using a screen protector: that you don't damage the original glass. Also its real glass, so it retains the feel of glass.
Nilkin had me at "Curved edge". Gonna be ordering one
Just ordered one to Germany. But i have chosen registered mail for 2$.
Just found the SPIGEN Oleophobic Coated Glas.tR Nano SLIM for Sony Xperia Z2, pre-order on Ebay :good:
That's Spigen UK, no doubt available other regions too.

Umm, I have two questions.
1. Since its glass and not plastic sheet, doesn't it add extra weight to the device?
2. Is it crystal clear? I usually order these.
http://www.clarivue.com/sony-d6502-xperia-z2-ultra-clear-screen-protector
They have glass ones tho, although a bit more expensive, but I don't really care about the price.
http://www.clarivue.com/sony-d6502-xperia-z2-xt-tempered-glass-screen-protector-cover
Edit : Make that 3 questions, 3rd would be, is the protector for both back and front or front only?
My Nillkin came in yesterday, bit disappointed in the rear protector. I thought it would be the same as the front, I guess I'll have to order something better for the rear like a wet mount one.

I haven't seen it off of the backing paper yet being that I don't have the phone yet. It has the typical green/blue hue on the edges that you normally see on clear glass(which really isn't clear), so it's technically not crystal clear. Being that it's so thing I'm sure it's effectively clear.
Which one shall I get?
Nillkin screen protector http://dx-box.com/nillkin-9h-hardness-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-z2.html
or
Spigen screen protector (it's double the price so I would like to know if there is actually any significant difference) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen-Prot...40&sr=8-3&keywords=xperia+z2+screen+protector

Hmm, just wanted to know if it'll affect the screen clarity in anyway. I like screen protectors which act like they're not even there when it comes to viewing the screen.
Guys i bought Nilkin from dx-box they sent me for Z1C then they told me they were gonna send again for Z2.I bought magnetic charging cable as well from same place and they sent me again wrong one for Z1.Be aware about this website.
I looked at that nilkin glass screen protector and I looked at the pictures and it looks like there are no cutouts for the front facing speakers. Isn't that going to muffle the sound or damage the speakers?

Isn't the magnetic cable the same for the Z1 and Z2?
Also, is there anyone selling just a non-glass rear protector for the Z2? I like those because it makes the back more grippy and makes me less concerned about setting it down anywhere. I don't like front protectors.
I was wondering if someone found a front AND back set with tempered glass? Couldn't find any. I currently have this on my Z1:
http://theglass-m.com/products/glass-m-premium-tempered-glass-screen-protector-for-sony-xperia-z1
Have anyone who installed tempered glass and put it into water, will it peel off and unable to stick to the screen??
I gonna buy Z2 so i need dual layer of tempered glass for front and back. I do search online but unluckily there is nothing show for dual layer(front and back).
I recently bought tempered glass from brando and very happy with it. I now plan to buy another one for the back but i want to protect the camera as well. Is it ok if i use the front without cutouts or my camera will be affected?

I don't know if tempered glass will have the same problem; but I placed a plastic screen protector on the back and I noticed that if you cover the flash then when you take a picture, the light from the flash will travel along the protector and cause an annoying blue glare in all your night shots using the flash.
You could, but you'd somehow have to cut a hole for camera/flash
If u place it over the camera the flash light will fcuk up your pics. U need one with cut outs.

Yes you can. i had tempered glass on my Z1 before .I gave away my Z1 and bought Z2. before giving it i removed the tempered glass and applied it on the backside of z2. it looks abit weird but works fine for me. ( actually looks like man wearing shorts )
i was worried why my photos with flash looked weird blue. thanks guys for the heads up. the only thing which was keeping me away from Sony phones was lack of Gorilla glass ( dunno why they are so stubborn ) . now because of introduction of tempered glass i switch over to Sony from M7. I salute the guys who invented tempered glass protection.. Great find

pretty sure Sony use Dragontail glass, and its very close to Gorilla glass if not better
I got front and back protector from here. Happy with it. It fits perfectly fine, doesn't add anything to the thickness, and works properly with the magnetic dock.
I'm looking around and can only find ones for the Z2 tablet.
Has anyone found one online that they are happy with, or do they even exist? After owning the tablet for a year and a half I was finding the film that's already on there too scratched up and difficult to keep clean so I pulled it off finally. Felt good. Now if I can find a tempered glass protector like the one I'm using on my phone I'd be happy.
I have one from Amazon and i'm happy with it. It's a little bit smaler, but it's OK
@chaot88 : can you provide the link ? i also interested in buying Tempered glass for Tablet Z , but i couldn't find the T.H for XTZ :/
You've obviously misunderstood me. I bought a tablet Z2 Tempered Glass, as both devices are almost as large. The Tempered Glass is only slightly smaller, but with a slim case you see it no more

If you don't mind, would you be able to measure the size of the glass? I'm wondering how much difference there is in size between the z2 and original Z tablets.
You can look at the sonymobile Website under products/tablets The glass has the size for z2 tablet

can you post a photo? I want to see how big the gap is.. :highfive:
I've ordered one for the Z2 off of ebay. I'll post some pictures on here once it arrives in case anyone is still wondering if this will fit with the Z tablet.
@tinodevoe I just put on the XTZ2 tempered glass on my XTZ and it looks good enough for me. Totally unnoticeable unless you are trying to look for the gaps. Only thing I'd say is bad is the cut out for the camera is off but not big deal. I prefer my camera covered by glass protector when possible anyways so it won't scratch in front of the lens making the image come out funny. Check out pictures I've attached.
http://www.amazon.com/Tempered-Prot...et+glass&pebp=1421820700710&peasin=B00PHD0D4I
I would notice the cut-out for the camera, and I think it would bother me. The gap on the edge of the screen looks quite 'large'
Just got the tempered glass just now . Installed it and it looks really nice ! .. in my opininon , the camera hole and the gap really doesn't interrupt my view . Sure it is not 100% great .. but it is the perfect alternative way to get Tempered glass for Xperia tablet Z
here i attach some images with and without casing >;
With case >

:good: I ordered this one and have it on my Tablet Z as pictured above and below, fits great even though its for the Z2 Tablet..Installation was a breeze...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00QY9LOKG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
The camera hole does not line up but I barely notice, and if you have a case its not noticeable at all ..
Trust me get a tempered glass screen, you won't regret it...
I also recommend this case as well, it looks great and all the ports are open for easy access...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B4D0COG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Its so much easier keeping the screen clean as well, no more greasy film or streaks , response time is excellent as well, no noticeable lag of any kind....
That hole is not for camera, it`s for the light sensor. The Z4 tablet has its light sensor about the same place as Z. Only the Z4 is smaller.
I stand corrected..
I was not paying attention to what I was typing....
After several months with this screen protector I am still quite pleased....no scratches of any kind thus far....
I've just upgraded from my first Android, a chunky and sturdy Samsung Mini 2, to Zuk Z1. Needless to say, I'm super-hyper-worried to scratch its screen. Tbh I don't like the cons of using a protection (less responsive touch? more oily screen?), but from what I've read it's not clear whether Zuk Z1 has Gorilla Glass. Although I'm a careful person, would you advise I buy a protection? If so should I choose a normal screen protector or tempered glass? Thanks in advance
Tempered glass for sure. I'm using those since 2 devices and they feel the same like the original glas.
And they are easy to apply
I bought my zuk z1 in India and seems like a tempered glass was preappllied. It's already there, factory fitted. Can you check to see if you already have one on?

I'm almost sure I don't have any tempered glass pre-applied. It would have been lucky :<
There is no tempered glass preapplied, maybe from that Indian seller but there is no protector.
Tempered glasses are scam. I have one on ZUK Z1. Slight bump and its already chipped. Various sites on the net prove that Tempered glasses do not help much with drops. Its just about scratches. IF you can, get one with oleophobic coating. The normal ones its annoying to remove the oil stains.
I'm using this one since 4 months and it's great in combination with bumper on backside:
https://www.amazon.de/Displayschutz...70167219&sr=8-1&keywords=zuk+z1+displayschutz
It's very easy to apply cause it's like a glass plate to lay on the display. The fingerprints are not as easy to wipe off like without the glass protector, but the reaction is as good as without, so better with protection [emoji106]
Sent from my Z1 using my hand
No, there's no tempered glass already pre-applied as you'd be able to see it next to home button aswell, not only by earphone. It's gorilla glass just poorly applied.
I recommend tempered glass as there's no 'plastic' feeling when using screen and it feels exactly same as original glass. Also if phone falls from non-extreme height there's big chance tempered glass will crack instead of screen.
Has anyone found a good tempered glass screen protector for the XA2 Ultra? I'll have my phone by Wednesday next week and want to make sure I get a good quality protector for the screen. Thanks in advance!

Sadly it has black on the top and bottom which hides the nice blue color of my XA2 Ultra. Hopefully they will do a clear one soon.

Oh, cool! Huh, I looked on SuperShieldz's website directly and at first I thought I found them but then I noticed it was for the XA1. I wonder if there's a chance it's fake - maybe someone repackaged a different brand into their packaging? Seems strange that it can be found there but not Amazon or from the manufacturer directly.
Hopefully within a short period of time they'll have a clear one for you.

Supershieldz has it listed on their site now. Amazon now says they are being shipped by Supershieldz themselves as well so that assures to me it's the real deal on Amazon.

Well, that's good, thanks for the heads up! Yeah, hopefully, Intelliarmor will. I'll probably go ahead and order one or two of these. I have the black phone.
Edit: Ordered the Supershieldz, should receive it next week.
You don't need tempered glass on your phone, gorilla glass is much more stronger than any tempered glass. If you drop your phone with a tempered glass on and the tempered glass shatters, that doesn't mean gorrila glass would break without the screen protector. s8 breaks easily on the corners and sure it has gorrila glass 5 wich is 2x stronger than the 4 but the corners are curved a lot wich results in a less surface for the force to spread so all the force is stuck at that corner resulting in a crack.
xa2 and xa2 ultra don't have those really curved edges so you should be fine.
Btw if you really want one, get a curved tempered glass otherwise it won't spread all the way over the glass or it will not stick at the sides resulting in less visibility at those sides (experiences)
I am seeing a few more glass protectors on amazon but most have terrible ratings. Can anyone give a review of their experience with temp. Glass on this device?

I haven't put my Supershieldz yet on because I was waiting to get a case, and I had accidentally ordered a case for the non-Ultra XA2. Was able to return it but I'm waiting until I have $25 more I want to buy from Amazon before ordering the right cheap case.
I read in a couple of places that some of the glass protectors have only rim of adhesive securing the temp. glass to the phone. This has stopped my quest so far.
Yesterday I picked up a "Kristall Nano protector" this is one of those liquid protectors claiming a "Hardness 9 H". One of the employees at conrad showed me that hes using this currently. The screen felt like glass and looked perfect. 100% clarity w. No rainbow effect etc. It doesnt replace the strength of a glass protector but for now will help prevent scratches.
I had another idea for those feeling adventurous... why not use this nano stuff as the adhesive for the other protectors.
I assume that this will increase the protection level and fill the airgaps.

My experience with ultra screen protectors
First of all, let me say that the assumption that the gorilla glass itself is scratch resistant is just not true in reality, no matter what Sony claims. From my first tablet z all the way to this new xa2 ultra, all of my Sony phones collected visible scratches without a screen protector. Just search YouTube to see for yourself how easily the screen of xa2 ultra gets scratched by simple contact with keys and coins.
When I got my ultra XA two years ago I searched for a good screen protector and the best I could find was a tempered glass which left about 2 mm unprotected on each side of the screen. That's where the curvature of the LCD glass on XA ultra starts. Also I found a "curved" screen protector for XA which was really a piece of hardened plastic (not tempered glass) bent on the sides and it only had adhesive around the edges. So despite the fact that it covered the whole LCD, because there was no adhesive under The Protector, there was an air gap everywhere between the protector and the glass which made the clarity quite low.
The situation for xa2 ultra is even worse because the actual curvature of the LCD starts about one centimeter from the edges. So no flat protector including the ones with the 2 millimeter gap on the sides will properly adhere to the glass. I tried one that I ordered on eBay and as you can see in the picture there are major strips of air gaps on both sides. I haven't tried any curved protectors yet so it would be nice if someone who has used them comments here. I have ordered film screen protectors which I should receive soon. And because they're not rigid I'm hoping they will naturally stick to the sides of the screen. I will post pictures here once I receive them.
Update: I received the film screen protectors. The situation is similar to the tempered glass, albeit no as bad: it still leaves about 2 mm unprotected on each side, and the air gaps are still there but they are only about 2mm in width.
Summary: I am yet to find a proper full LCD protector for this phone.

Hello All!
Did anyone find good solution for screen protection:
- cover the whole LCD
- good contact with screen (no air)
- reliable enough
?
